A new report indicates that the United States has sufficient capacity to remove carbon dioxide at the scale needed to achieve net-zero emissions, while also providing economic opportunity, ecological benefits, and public health benefits.

    In general the green left has a hatred toward things called carbon capture. It has been a buzzword used to try and avoid renewable energy investment. It deserves some of the hate. BUT, the truth is we will need to pull a bunch of co2 out of the atmosphere to stave off the worst effects of century and a half of fossil fuel use.

    It is time to stop protesting this stuff. Renewable energy is finally getting on track and we HAVE to deal with historical emissions at some point. The time is now.

    We have to do both.

      The hatred is for non existent capture tech being used to avoid making change now. Actual existent capture tech that works would be great
